foam christmas tree tutorial {paper covered}

My Christmas decor is coming along, which is good, because I need to start Christmas gifts now! I added a trio of foam cone Christmas trees to my Christmas subway art for my holiday table display. Here's how I made the first one, covered with paper punched circles, sequins, and straight pins! (And see the other tutorials here and here to complete the trio!)

7. For a topper, I made of a couple of these 3-D paper stars and glittered them up with red glitter. Subsequently, I was once again prohibited from using glitter in the house. But it was worth it. I also painted a toothpick red.

Then I glued the toothpick to the back side of one star, then glued the two stars together.
